Brandon Wayne Smith
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery

I'm a neurosurgeon with advanced training in peripheral nerve surgery. I treat surgical nerve issues in both the upper and lower extremities. My main interest is in regenerative nerve surgery focused on improving physical function.

In research and academics, I'm most interested in teaching and advancing treatment techniques and outcome optimization.

Current Research Interests

Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Nerve Transfers
Brachial Plexus Injuires
Peripheral Nerve Tumors

Current Appointments & Affiliations

Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery 2021
